Blackfoot Reporter.

Monday morning the south bound
passenger train was delayed a
couple of hours by broken rail 4
miles south of Basalt and from
what we are enabled to learn had a
narrow escape from what would
have proved terrible accident. At
the place mentioned the train struck
six feet of broken rail. The engine,
baggage and mail car went over the
track without damage; the express
and second-class passenger coach
jumped the track and fortunately
for all hands on the train remained
in an upright position. After right
ing the two cars the train came
slowly on to Blackfoot, where the
expresses and passenger cars were
set out, their trucks being too badly
damaged to take them any further.

Some of the boys along the river
are on the trail of two Cinnamon
who came into Sawtooth, last Sun
day, with about four pounds of
gold dust, which they said they
had washed out since last fall down
on the Salmon river. This, and
the further statement that they had
come 211 miles on snowshoes in six
days, was all the information that
could be obtained from them. But
as they will undoubtedly go out
soon, a party will be organized to
follow them, and endeavor to as
certain where the dust came from,
as it is supposed that the ground
must be very rich.

at Pocatello are and have been full

ship them, because he wanted to

We this week heard a rumor that
a member of the Omaha Smelling
Co.. who has been experimenting
with process for extracting gold
from the black sand of Snake
river, hit upon method which he
considered satisfactory. The ru-
NOR originated with a travelling
man, and lacks confirmation.
However, President Phillips, of the
Snake River Co., last fall shipped
few sacks of the sand to the
smelter for this purpose. The.sand
was taken from one of the bars
near Dorsey's Ferry, where there is
aniinexhanstive supply. If the re-
port should be true, the bars of
Snake river will be worth more
money than the ledges of the Wood
River region, for the reason that
they are constantly building up.

About 20 settlers from Missouri
are now stopping in Shoshone,
where they arrived last week and
are looking for a location for farm

may yet conclude to settle on
Camas Prairie or in the Wood
River valley. At present they are
renting houses in Tom Fay's tene-
ment row on Rail street. They
brought one or two good teams, and
bedding with them. There are
about 5000 to 10000 acres of fine
land in this vicinity which if all
placed under cultivation would
support 100 families in good shape.
An improvement association that
would take out water bitches for
such settlers, would make this

Alonzo Leland of the Lewiston

Some of the results of Special
Agent Caldwoll's visit to this Sec
ton last summer are now cropping
out to the surface. He spent con-
siderable time here, and when the
political campaign opened he was
sent to Colorado. What he accom-
plished is not yet fully known. One
discovery he made was that in order
to procure charcoal for smelling
purposes at the works of the Phila-
delphia company, certain amount
of wood was required. The partic-
ular kind of wood best adapted for
this purpose is what is generally
called "pole pine," a tree that flour
ishes for only few years and then
dies. Frank Gooding had the con-
tract to furnish this wood and OBJ
tanned it along Wood river, Prairie
creek and other small streams and
floated the same down to the smelt-
ing works, some Of it coming dis
tance of thirty miles. Two-thirds
of the wood so procured was from
lifeless trees, Mr.. Gooding paying
the choppers 25 cents additional per
cord in order to secure such timber,
as it hoated much easier than the
green logs. On Monday last United
States Marshal Baird arrived in
town to serve papers on the COM
pany here and Mr.. Gooding for cut
ting timber on the government
ground, and making them defend
ants in suit in which the govern
ment sues them them for $4,000
damages. The defendants are to
appear at Boise City on the 18th of
next month for trial. Messrs.
Hyndman Il Batten will appear for
the defense, and the claim of the
government will be hotly contested.
The general opinion prevails that
the government will get left in the
suit.

On Sunday last at accout a o'clock
p. M, cutting and shooting affray
occurred in Chinatown between the
celestials; four of whom we under
stand were engaged in it. Two
shots were fired, only one of them
grazing the scalp of a "pig tail"
effecting only a tlesh-wound. At the
same time knives were lashed about
promiscuously, and one the foes re-
ceived several gashes about the
head and leg, and when assistance
reached the scene, he was bleeding
as it were-like a "stuck hog"
Sheriff Langdon and deputies were
soon at at the scene of action, and
three of the braves, including the
wounded, were marched to Jail.
One the number escaped. The affray,
as near as we can find out, was over
a Chinawomen; which we believe
can be truly said by all nations, "a
woman at the bottom of it." On
Sunday night two of the prisoners
were released from custody on

pearance ofpossessing much wealth;
young, finely dressed after Chinese
fashion, and both sparting diamond
rings, gold watches and other val-

A New Form of Crime.

One of the English jouAlals recently dwelt
at length upon new form Of crime which an
ingenious person in that country had in
vented. This was set dowif as something
really remarkable, fairly emitting the in
ventor to certain degree of homage. The
new crime consisted in series Of burglaries
perpetrated by q person who travelled from
place to place IN q yacht, thus preventing
suspicion from attaching to him, and Went
ashore whenever hove in sight of a house
worth cracking. Alas for the "inventor~
Here is another proof that there is nothing
new on earth. Thieving under the same cir
cumstances has been going on of late up the
Hudson, and it is recalled that the same idea
was successfully carried out there q dozen
years Or SO ago. The English writer seems to
have dilated with the wrong emotion. New

was adopted by a majority of only seven.
The ''cradle of liberty" was first built two
stories high, forty feet wide and 100 feet in
length. 1t was nearly destroyed by fire in
176l, and in 1905 it was enlarged to eighty
feet in width and twenty feet greater eleva-
tion. The hall has never been let for money,
but is at the disposal of the people whenever
a sufficient number of persons, complying
with certain regulations, ask to have it
opened. The city charter contains provis-
ion forbidding the sale or lease Of the proper.

The site for this building was reclaimed
from the tide waters and $150,000 was ex-
pended in the erection of Faneuil Hall market,
or Quincy market, as it is often called, from
the fact that the market grew out of re-
commemlation by Mayor Quincy in 1928.
The capital for its construction was so Judi
ciously managed that not only the market
was built at the expense named, but six new
streets were opened and a seventh enlarged

Faneuil hall was used as a theatre during
the British occupation of Boston in 1775 In
revolutionary times it was the usual place Of
meeting of the patriots, from which it gained
the name of the Cradle of American Liberty.

cent celebration Of the queens jubilee at Bos.

The great Importance of Frederick VIII
liams illness is shown by the fact that his
aged father cannot long lie expected to sur
vive. Prince William, eldest son of our
subject and his natural successor, holds the
confidence of the German people in remark
able degree He is a favorite pupil of Moltke,
and fasorably disposed to the Bismarcks
As an officer has been hard worker, and is
held in great esteem by the army Should be
by the death of his father succeed the vener-
able emperor, the peaceful policy of the aged
monarch and his son, the crown prince, will
no doubt be forsaken. War with France
would be almost sure to follow.
The earnest character and eminent talents
of Frederick William were developed under
excellent masters, among others Ernest Cur
tins, who accompanied him to the University
of Bonn, where the prince was matriculated
in the law faculty. After the completion of
his education the prince visited several for
eign countries, among others England,
where lie married the princess royal,
eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, OH
Jan. 25, 1858, with the royal appreciation
of both nations. By this union are two sons
and four daughters.
Since his father ascended the throne the
crown prince has taken part in the most i'm
portant affairs of state. He served in the
Danish campaign in a subordinate capacity,
but with such ability that the king intrusted
him to an important task in the war with
Austria in 1866, viz, the command of the left
Prussian wing, operating in and from Silesia.
In the Franco-P Prussian war, 1S70-71, the
crown prince acted very conspicuous part
as commander of the troops of Bavaria, Wur-
temberg and Baden. He was present at
Sedan, August, 1870, and was made field
marshal two months after by his father. Dur
ing the emperor's illness caused by an assas-
sins shot in 1878 his public functions were
ably performed by the crown prince

A Philadelphia car-building COM
pany has nearly completed a contract
for building $50 cars of various kinds
for railway company on the La Plata
river region, in South America. The
road is two hundred miles long, trav-
ersing level plateau similar to the
western frontier. Each car is drawn
by three horses, which are changed at
stations ten miles apart The road is
operated much cheaper by horse-pow-
er than by steam, as coal is $12 ton
and horses only 500 head. Some of
the cars are sleepers, with two tiers Of
berths, the upper one being closed up
to the ceiling in the daytime, and the
lower transformed into seats.

Bold Children.

It is surprising how bold young chill
dren become. They practice their
boldness SO frequently that it often
leads to the commission Of crime. A
friend related story to me the other
day about bright, handsome little
miss Of ten summers, who visited a
Broadway bakery and told the clerk
that lady near by had sent her for
some cakes, and that she would call
and pay for them that evening. The
accommodating clerk rather reluct-
antly gave the child the goods after re-
lating her story to the proprietor. The
girl ran across the street to a conven-
tent doorway, and, to the surprise Of
the clerk, who had been Watching her,
the young miss opened the paper and,
taking out the cakes, proceeded leis-
urely to devour them, casting the pa
per in which they were wrapped into
the street The lady whom the child
said had sent her for the cakes was
surprised and indignant when told
what had taken place. She said she
had not sent the child, and knew moth
ing about such transaction. In fact,
the lady did not live where the young
thief claimed she did, having removed
from the locality several days pre-
vious. The young criminals audacity
is astonishing and somewhat remarka-
BILE. The clerk, who, by the way, is q
young lady of several years exper-
ience in her business, was completely
taken back. To think that child of
that tender age should impose upon
her credulity completely uunerved her.
Hereafter her customers will be served
for spot cash. She will not listen to
even the innocent pleadings of school
children.-AIbGny Argus.

FANEUlL HALL.

The Famous "Cradle of Liberty" Briefly
Described.
Peter Faneuil, the founder Of Faneuil hall,
in Boston, was born in New Rochelle, N. Y,
in 100. He died in Boston, March 8, 1743.
In 1874 he offered to build for that town a
market house and public hall without charge,
a proposition which was accepted. That
there was some feeling against the movement
